The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

You dive into the ocean depths, constantly fending off endless waves of hostile marine life while upgrading gear in a tense, fast-paced top-down shooter.

What players say

Players are sharply divided. Some call it a cheap template cash grab with awful controls, no key bindings, and painful music, while others enjoy it as a short diver simulator with good graphics and random wave upgrades. The few who played past an hour find it very repetitive.
